Welcome to my site. I will be Chronicling the construction of our new home. Here is a brief history of my experiance in this area. I moved every few years as a child. As an adult I stayed in one house for 25 years, but helped remodel it four times. From a minor bath redo to adding an entire second story to the house. Now my husband and I have moved to AZ to care for my elderly parents and are undertaking to be the owner/builders of a custom home. Some people don't like change but I guess I'm not one of them. Or perhaps it is just limited change I like. To my husband's current dismay I helped build a 4000 square foot house in Romania in 2001. We took it from slab to fully furnished in 11 days. I therefore have meager patience for the pace of building here in Arizona.

God Works in Mysterious Ways

On TV they have been advertising something called an Impass system, which prevents termites from coming up your pipes from underground. Apparently, here in Arizona termites are a BIG problem. So I convinced my husband we should put them in (the exterminator company actually puts them in). Well, we got a call from the company, seems they wanted to make a training video of the installation this week and wanted to film at our site. And, the Impass system and the pre-pour termite treatment would be free. Of course we agreed, but they needed us to be pouring the slab this week and we were not sure that was in the cards. Today we got the word that our slab will be poured on Thursday. The film crew is out at our site working away and they told us they will upgrade the insectacide to the premium. What a blessing. Now if the weather will just cool down a bit before Thursday. Today's predicted high is 105!! Sunday it reached 109!!!!
